Travolta had tried to help him many times and had limited success. At least they remained friends through the years. Not a fan of Travolta and his greedy cult but it was good that Travolta was there for him for so long.

THIS IS VERY SAD! PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW CELEBZ ARE PUT ON A PED AND EVERYONE IS KISSING THERE ASS FOR THE MONEY!
SOME CELEBZ DO IT FOR THE MONEY AT FIRST BUT THEN THEY DO THE DRUGS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK 4 THEM WANT THE MONEY ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS FINE.
SORRY BUT I DO KNOW A FEW PEOPLE ON TV AND THEY ARE AWESOME IN A ROOM ALONE BUT ALWAYS HAVE A WALL UP.
CAZ OF THE ASSHOLE FUKS WHO SELL THERE BULLSHIT STORYS 2 THE TABS!
THIS POOR MAN IS DEAD AND I BLAME WELL EVERYONE!
IF YOU SEE YOUR FAV CELEB AT AN EVENT TAKE A PHOTO WITH EM. BUT IF THEY ARE OUT 2 LUNCH WITH THERE BITCH OR HO LEAVE UM BE!
CAZ IN THE LONG RUN THEY OR WE ARE ALL HUMAN! AND NEED SPACE!
ITS SAD HOW SOME LIVES END!

So sad! Another victim of better living thru chemistry…illegal or prescription drugs. Drugs should be a last resort for treatment of most illnesses and conditions, not the first resort but doctors aren't either taught or rewarded for practicing any other way. Conaway died from treating a cold with pain medication and cold medicine. Chicken soup would have been a much better idea (I'm being serious and facetious)! Between his alcohol, cocaine and pain medication addiction, he had a tough row to hoe. Taking drugs (psych meds, methadone, etc) to get off drugs (and then having to stay on them forever) may not be the best option for a lot of people that struggle with these issues. He's at peace now and I wish his friends and loved ones my sincere condolences.

Seriously folks, sad situation. He lived his last 10 or so years practically a shut in popping pills all day long. A great talent wasted on drugs. Another sad example of why you shouldn't do drugs. Now you know and knowing is half the battle.

Re: SHANDAM –
As the post said, he had tried to help him. Lots of people tried to help him. They didn't call their publcity agents to tell them they were trying to get Jeff off the drugs. Now that he's dead, it's appropriate that they speak out and share fond memories or wish the family well. That's what you do when somebody dies.

Re: organicgal – Hey buddy, methadone saved my life. And I thank my lucky stars for it. Although those kinds of treatments do not work for everybody, it's great that we have them out there for those of us that really need them, and know how to use them properly. And no, people do not stay on methadone forever. Maybe they did back in the day, but not now. Most people are out of my clinic between 6 monthes and a year and a half. The longest that I had ever known anyone to be on it was for 5 years, and they were a very special case. And when it comes to psych meds, my father was a schizophrenic, and he may have been alive today if the right sort of psych meds had been offered to him. But like I said, although these controversial medications are often misused and abused, it's a miracle for those of us that use them in the correct manner. And with those kinds of conditions, no doctor should EVER tell a patient to do medicine alone. It's always best combined with some sort of program and/or therapy. That's what really gets us on the road to success. But please, for future reference, please educate yourself before classifying a drug into a bad category (and I don't mean crazed internet ramblings, I mean really look into it). I know you mean well, and I know it's sad when stuff like the death of Mr. Conaway come to light. But it's best to remember that everyone is an individual, as is their specific issue, and case. Have a good day, ok?

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
